The Whole Matter Explained.

Rev. John Kershaw has submitted num-
Der OF interrogatorles to the Episcopal preach
ers who voted the negro into the Diocesan
Convention. Their replies reminded us OF
the story told of an excessively pious woman
who was conducting q prayer-meeting
When a strange apparition waslnoticed ap-
In the darkness, she cried out.
"Oh, Mr.. Devil, I had nothing at all to do
with getting up this prayer-meeting." Each
one of the Episcopal preachers are blameless
in the matter of voting the negro in, and none
of them had anything at all to do with 1t.

Demand for a Factory at AbbeviIIe.

Within the last few days there has been
considerable talk of building a factory at
Abbeville, and already various public spirit
ed citizens have expressed their willingness
to take stock in such an enterprise, but up to
the present time the aggregate amount Of pro-
posed subscriptions Is merely nominal. This
movement Is made In the belief that the ex-
istence Of a factory at Abbeville would make
this market for cotton equal to Greenville and
Columbia, and that If more people were here
1t would be Of incalculable benefit to the far-
mers as 1t would create a demand for country
produce, (and then 10 bushels of sweet pota-
toes would not glut the market0 that the in
terests of the town would be promoted In
numerous ways for instance one gentlemen
says that whereas, now only lO,0Oo or l2,ooo
bales Of cotton Is sold in this market, with
the factory 10000 bales or more would come
here which naturally would increase the
trade Of the town.
Some people believe that cotton would de-
mand an advance of q quarter OF cent
above the present or ruling price, If we had
cotton factory in town. 1t has not yet how
ever been demonstrated how this state OF af-
fairs could be brought about by the presence
Ol u laCUOIy, UuI IL NC Cah 6CU ooihSiSAo ANNH
ey subscribed to build the factory, the build
ers OF the institution may solve the problem
as to how so desirable on end may be accom-
plished.
1t is possible that public meeting on next
Sale Day would develop the strength Of the
movement. Suppose the meeting be held
then and settle the matter. If we build the
factory, II ought to be built in time for the
next crop, and no time is to be lost If the
work is 10 be accomplished. Let the advo-
Gates of the factory prove their faith by their
subscriptions.

Florence Times. |

It Is suggested that the merchants OF Flor
ence employ ladies as clerks in their stores.
Many country towns are utilizing their ser
vices In this department of trade, with bene-
ft to their employers and appreciation on the
part Of patrons and customers. The Camden
Journal touching on this subject, says this
under the title, Another Step Forward"
1t Is only within the present year that the
merchants of Camden have followed the ex-
ample set by their city brethren and employ
ed ladies as clerks In their stores. From
whit we can gather, they have certainly Civ.
en- satisfaction, as the number has increased
rapidly. For years past the millinery estab:
lishments have been conducted by ladies, and
the business Itself shows how efficient the la
dies have been. We are glad to see this new
avenue of business opened to our women, and
that they are no longer to be confined to the
narrow limits OF wearing out their lives at q
sewing machine, or in some similar calling
that barely gives them living. 1t Is true
that a few find employment as teachers, but
the number required In that line Is small In
deed, compared with the number who wish

The Danger OF Buying Texas Ponies.

DR.. Benz. McInnls, jr, Veterinary Surgeon,
1t will be recollected, reported some cases OF
glanders in this county, contracted from Tex
as ponies last Winter. Under date Of Sep.
tember l, he writes to the Commissioners OF
Agriculture, as follows:
'The mule contracted the disease from q
Texas pony, purchased by him at Barn we'll c.
H., on Sale Day In January last This pony
broke out in ulcerating bumps some time in
May, and died In the latter part of July, dis.
playing symptoms exactly like those Of the
mule. Here is an incubative period Of sever.
al months, and goes to show that the utmost
caution must be taken in purchasing these
Texas ponies, for the disease may be lying
dormant, or may be chronic, and there are
certain conditions when 1T is almost impossi-
BILE for the Veterinarian (should no history be
accesslble) to diagnose Immediately the dis
ease. There are still many Of these ponies In
our State, and there Is no telling when this
very contagious disease, both to man and
beast, will end, If our citizens. and farmers
especially, do not, as soon as they notice any
discharge from the nostrils,. or ulcerating abb
scess on the body or legs, immediate
ly isolate such animals, and have them in
spected."

Think Of Theei

Think Of thee! Since the first hour,
In which our mutual glances met,
have loved thee-and the flower
had with me is living yet.
Think OF thee that flower Is keeping
Bright the memory OF that day,
And It is not dead, but sleeping,
Dreaming, where It's laid away!
Think Of thee There Is no hour,
Or bright or sorrowful 1t be,
In which affections holy power
1ncites not thought and hope Of thee!
Think OF thee! All what were life,
Its dark and cheerless scenes, to me,
II In Its wild and heartless strife,
could not fondly think OF thee?
Think of thee! Oh, yes forever
Will think and dream OF thee
And tell me, dearest, wilt thou never
Breathe a sigh OF love for me?

TO a Young Wife.

A task untried, path unknown
You enter on to-day;
Your heart no more shall sink alone
Or leap In freedom gay;
No more alone, no more apart,
But with that dearer one
You share together, heart with heart,
Life's shadow and Its sun.
True love can make track Of light
Across the desert gray;
And love Is shining warm and bright
On this, your bridal day;
And love will twine In these glad hours
or happiness and song
Those fragrant amaranthine flow'rs
That bloom whole life long.
But yet unknown must be the path
On which to-day you go,
And all the gifts the Future hath
The years TO come must show,
Yet you shall feel no more apart;
The sweetest thought OF all
Is yours-"I have a kindred heart,
Whatever may befall"
And mark-so long as life endures
Let nothing come between
The sunshine OF his heart and yours,
But walk IN faith serene.
Then shall you never walk alone
Or sigh for freedom gay,
Or weary OF the life unknown
You enter on to-day,

road to Abbeville. Let the law include and
stick to the condition that the road must be
finished to Abbeville before our bonds are is

A Question of Law.
Columbia Register.

The question whether bonds secured by
mortgages of land In this State held by foreign
land loan companies are taxable In this State
having been raised, Comptroller General
Stoney very properly submitted the question
TO the Attorney General. His opinion Is
given elsewhere. It will be seen that 1t Is that
such bonds are not taxable here. While 1t
may be deemed desirable that they should be
taxed, yet 1t is difficult to see how the matter
can be reached, as 1t Is perhaps beyond the
reach OF State legislation.
